tbh, the only thing I liked about Canadian currency is that their dollar coins looked cool. Our dollar coins have never really caught on, partly I suspect because they kinda look like shit.

Loonies. And two dollar coins are called Toonies. There is a loon on the dollar coin. That's where the name comes from. Toonies have polar bears.

I'm right, as expected.

Really, the whole "monopoly money" thing just comes from the fact that it isn't all the same colour. Never mind that having to look at the numbers on a bill to tell what it is is significantly less efficient than being able to tell from a glance at the colour, or the fact that most countries in the world have multi-coloured money.

This always annoys me when I travel to the states. I can tell, at a glance, exactly how much Moose Money I'm carrying in my wallet just by the colour; when I convert it to Fatbucks, you actually have to pull it out and look at the numbers.

And its a pain in the ass if you have it in your pocket because it usually comes out in a big crumpled ball of shit.

So.... you're saying there's a lot of fact money around? No wonder why USD is the global standard =p

Our money looks cool but I also like foreign money. A lot of foreign money imo looks better than ours. Plus a lot of foreign currency has actual durability and can last longer than a year and a half before it looks like its gone through wwii.

Tho yeah q Elizabeth would do well dying. Looks horrid on currency and Im sure somebody has been itching for a promotion since 1967

My favorite thing about Canadian money is that ever since they switched to the polymer, the bills don't rip anymore.

I like Canada's money, but I'm still curious, does it stand up well through the washing machine/drier? Can any Canadian chime in? It kind of seems like it would do terribly compared to the American dollar in that regard.

I don't tend to wash my money, so I don't know.

Also, I did hear once that the new bills were supposed to help cut down on money laundering, although I'm not sure this is what they meant...
